I’m on a mission to help one million children and young people develop the tools that support their mental wellbeing, helping them understand the power of their mindset so that they’re able to move beyond the challenges faced and step into their own brilliance.
I am available for bookings to speak, take part in panels, present or workshop in the area of children’s emotional wellbeing sharing essential yet practical tools, especially when it comes to topics like managing emotional outbursts, building confidence and resilience, dealing with the pressures of school, making mistakes or when it comes to transitions and making a change.
It’s no surprise that seeking support for children and young people when it comes to their mental wellbeing is on the rise, with staggering stats suggesting that roughly 3 children in every classroom have a diagnosable mental health disorder* - which is now why it’s more important than ever, that we equip ourselves and our children with the best possible tools and resources so that they’re able to support their mental and emotional wellbeing as well as thrive in what is a vibrant, exciting and yet very demanding world.
Power Thoughts exists, not to bypass or deny children the growth opportunities that are part and parcel of school and home life but to help them experience these with more calm and confidence so they can find their own way and stand up from every stumble they face.
Up to now, the focus on wellbeing and building life skills has been reserved for grown ups and yet, what if we could bring mindful magic to younger generations now?
I'm passionate about sharing insight, advice, tools and inspiration on how we can support our children and young people so that they are better able to manage their emotions, respond to challenges and obstacles in a more resourceful way allowing them to feel calmer, happier and more confident within themselves - and to continue to carry these tools with them into adulthood too.
Key to my mission is to deliver a message that is attention-grabbing, thought provoking and packed with valuable insight that is set to create a rippling effect of change and transformation throughout the family, impacting parents, caregivers and their children.
So, whether it's bringing an impactful new perspective to parents within corporations about how to support their children when it comes to managing their emotions and building their resilience or delivering key concepts that event guests can implement into their daily practice within the classroom as well through to university aged audiences on how to look after their mental wellbeing and develop the tools to manage their mindset - I am the speaker for you.
SPEAKING TOPICS INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO:
Survival Guide for the Big Emotions: Practical tools are shared to help parents understand why the BIG Emotions occur and what we can do to support our children (and ourselves) to respond from a place of calm and clarity when outbursts are becoming a challenge.
Bounce Back with Power: Together we explore the importance of developing resilience. Tools and strategies are shared so that parents are able to support their children to embrace their challenges, using their setbacks as an opportunity to grow, setting them up for the next steps in their development.
Deconstructing the Worry and Confidence Wobbles: Learn how to help your child navigate through the feelings of worry and overwhelm. Practical strategies are shared so that parents are able to support their children to shift their negative self talk to positive encouragement instead, and so helping them grow in confidence, supporting them to feel brave and adopting a ‘can-do’ attitude.
These are just a sample of how I can help support your audience and your event objectives. I am also happy to create bespoke workshops and talks that meets the specific needs of your audience.

Why choose me?
I’m an award winning coach, author and have a background of over 12 years within the educational sector, teaching at schools both within the UK and abroad. I also have a background in psychology and Power Thoughts is a blend of my past experience and deep understanding of children and their needs, which provides them with the tools to help them cope and thrive in the modern world.
I have delivered Power Thoughts to over 6000 children, starting from as young as 5 years old, supporting them to grow in confidence, feel happier and more robust in dealing with the pressures of schools, exams, transitioning, making friends etc.
My intention is to always share my message in a way that is fun, engaging and packed with powerful strategies which are easy to apply. I also have my fair share of personal examples and sometimes amusing anecdotes to help reinforce key learnings so that each member is easily able to relate to the content being shared.
My presentations or speaking engagements are well paced, interactive and I am also very Q&A friendly, thereby ensuring that each member of your audience feels part of a conversation and not simply a spectator.
As the sample topics suggest I can share valuable tools and information to help parents, carers and teachers support their children's mental and emotional wellbeing. However I am also open to suggestions and can submit proposals ahead of each speaking engagement so that it is tailored to the needs of your audience.
I can proudly say that I walk-my-talk. As an entrepreneur and business owner I have often had to tune into the ‘power of my own thought’, work with my feelings and emotions, and apply the tools I always share, to ensure that I’m feeling calmer, happier and empowered! Having also had a history of anxiety and depression I know only too well how important it is to have preventative strategies available to support our mental wellbeing - and the impact this can have when we start to learn these from a younger age.
